Reveal CommentPedro Figueroa bt Neill Quinton (May 25) 5-7, 6-1, 7-5

Player Comments:

  • "The match was played on a clayed tennis court. As the score suggests it was a very closed match where no quarter was given and none asked. However, in the end, like in every competition, there have to be winners and losers and on this occasion, I was fortunate to have come out of this encounter victorious. It needs to be said that Neil played really well and in my view, he was a bit unlucky to have lost the match at the closing of it!" -- Pedro

It needs to be said that Richard and I had a wonderful game and it was a pity that darkness fell otherwise we would have carried on playing until dawn!"  -- Pedro
